[00:01.943]Mark Knopfler
[00:32.278]Drinking dens are spilling out
[00:33.984]There's staggering in the square
[00:36.168]There's lads and lasses falling about
[00:37.969]And a crackling in the air
[00:40.485]Down around the dungeon doors
[00:41.874]The shelters in the queues
[00:44.427]Everybody's looking for
[00:45.744]Somebody's arms to fall into
[00:47.897]And it's what it is
[00:51.544]It's what it is now
[00:55.481]There's frost on the graves and the monuments
[00:57.544]But the taverns are warm in town
[01:00.114]People curse the government
[01:01.709]And shovel hot food down
[01:03.810]The lights are out in city hall
[01:05.427]The castle and the keep
[01:07.650]The moon shines down upon it all
[01:09.482]The legless and asleep
[01:12.01]And it ′s cold on a tollgate
[01:13.361]With the wagons creeping through
[01:15.886]Cold on a tollgate
[01:17.249]God knows what I could do with you
[01:19.220]And It ′s what it is
[01:22.773]It ′s what it is now
[01:27.238]The garrison sleeps and the citadel
[01:28.993]With the ghosts and the ancient stones
[01:31.614]High up on the parapet
[01:32.980]A Scottish piper stands alone
[01:35.562]And high on the wind
[01:36.671]The highland drums begin to roll
[01:39.426]And something from the past just comes
[01:40.887]And stares into my soul
[01:42.104]And it ′s cold on a tollgate
[01:44.870]Where the Caledonian blues
[01:47.378]Cold on a tollgate
[01:48.811]God knows what I could do with you
[01:50.938]And It ′s what it is
[01:53.743]It ′s what it is now
[01:58.439]What it is
[02:02.337]It ′s what it is now
[02:38.18]There ′s a chink of light
[02:39.188]There ′s a burning wick
[02:39.206]There ′s a lantern in the tower
[02:41.999]Wee Willie Winkie with a candlestick
[02:43.836]Still writing songs in the wee wee hours
[02:45.731]On Charlotte Street I take
[02:47.523]A walking stick from my hotel
[02:50.510]The ghost of Dirty ****
[02:51.772]Is still in search of Little Nell
[02:53.366]And it ′s what it is
[02:57.420]It ′s what it is now
[02:59.108]Oh it ′s what it is
[03:05.344]What it is now
